G. Knuffle Bunny is the story of Trixie, a little girl, and her excursion with her Daddy. She goes along with him to the laudromat and helps him do the laundry. However, much to her dismay, she leaves her favorite stuffed animal, Knuffle Bunny, behind. She screams and cries to go back to the laundromat to find her bunny but her Daddy can't understand her. It is only when she gets home and her Mommy realizes Knuffle Bunny is missing that the family races back to the laundromat where Daddy finds Knuffle Bunny and Trixie says her first words: Knuffle Bunny.
H. This book is a fantastic story of the importance of a stuffed animal to a little girl. It's a classic story because we have all been there: the child with the lost animal, the parent/ guardian/ babysitter trying frantically to find the toy. I loved the illustrations! The mixture of vintage photos and cartoon-like characters was something that is different and interesting.
I. This book would be good to lead a discussion about a time when students had lost something really important to them and the lengths they went to to get it back. I think this would be a great book for right before naptime, just a little something to get the kids focused and ready to go to sleep.
